I don’t Midwest geography well. Is everyone ok after the storms and tornadoes?! I’m 3 hours north in Ky of where the F4 hit so we’re good but it was a bad one. We have family/ random friends in the area posting pics and it’s not good. I think a factory full of 100 people was hit so that’s accounting for a large number of the casualties. Why they didn’t have leadership there getting people to a safe place, I don’t know. Thank you for posting that you're ok! And I'm so glad you are! Couldn't figure out from what was on the radio if the worst storms were anywhere near Cincinnati or not (don't know much about KY geography...) I hope your friends and family who were closer all are ok. And yes, it seems really strange the factory hadn't sent people to shelter or whatever their emergency plan is - are tornadoes unusual enough there that there isn't an established warning system? (That could happen here, for example, because tornadoes are so rare) Or since it's not really tornado season they didn't take warning seriously? Tragic, anyway.

Also hi! 3 kids has done me in for checking all socials. I throw pics on FB and Instagram for friends/ family but I don’t get much time to scroll. I’ve been working from home full time for almost 2 years now as well and I think that makes it hard because I am always doing things here that needs done when I have downtime. How are all of you? Still working from home here, too. Still working on our house. We recently bought our house from my parents. Doing well all things considered. I know life is insane, but it’s nice to see you here 😊

We needed a new tv stand but it’s a small and specific size needed. The only one I could find was unfinished and I thought, “how hard could that be?! I’ll just stain it myself.” Lol. It was harder than I thought. But it turned out well. Went with a dark walnut stain and then 3 coats of poly. Probably my one and only furniture staining project 😂 ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211211/33b4e6e1f67e9d7769dd013185d404c0.jpg) ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211211/dcf9c1f2df71c3ddceeb727fbfeb6151.jpg)

I think a factory full of 100 people was hit so that’s accounting for a large number of the casualties. Why they didn’t have leadership there getting people to a safe place, I don’t know. I saw something on tiktok about an amazon facility being hit by a tornado. Was that near you? I didn’t hear about any damage here, and I am close to a big Amazon hub. Also close to Cincinnati. But I think mostly here we were ok. I think the tornado luckily went back off the ground before it got up here so we just got rain and wind. It’s still really windy today and unseasonably warm. Tornadoes and warnings are not unusual here but an F4/F5 definitely is. And usually there are lots of warnings but then nothing actually on the ground. Or not for long. They called this a 100 year weather event so I assume very bad. Friends that I know in Bowling Green and Mayfield- all okay. But from what I understand it’s like half of a small town is gone right now.

I got a random email from a woman I supervised at a job 10 years ago. She said she was leaving the org in December after many many years and wanted to thank me for being kind to her. Lovely sentiment and it really was nice to hear. She was older when I managed her so I assumed retirement. Messaged her back wishing her a happy retirement.
Nope, she was terminated for not getting vaccinated 😳 🤯

I'm working on my Holiday Cards. Fair warning, if I've ever been given your address, you're getting one. If anyone else would like one, just message me. I've got a few more to do before I mail them.
Also, if I know your address has changed since I got it, I'll be skipping unless I get an updated one.

For anyone that has been following the Josh Duggar trial, he has been found guilty on both counts, and is facing unto 40 years in federal prison. The US Marshals have taken him into custody and he will be in prison until his sentencing hearing a couple of months. The world is a tiny bit better place today. Parent teacher conferences today one of the teachers was talking like the energizer bunny. Either she’s terrified of me or neurotic. Honestly this is how I talk🤷♀️

I’m a SATC show fan. I just watched the first episode of And Just Like that and cried. Warning to others who loved the show. Yeah I don't have access to HBO Max at the moment. Contemplated getting a subscription just to watch this BUT also wasn't in a hurry. Had a feeling I might not like. The last SATC movie wasn't the best either.

I liked the first movie (it wasn’t great but I liked it). I thought the 2nd wasn’t good. I think the series (only 2 episodes were available) is good so far, but again I’m a fan. My HBO max was through my phone carrier.

But did you all watch Maid on Netflix? Because it’s like the most awesome show.
Also- Sex Lives of College Girls on HBO.
Since working from home, I also get the lovely addition of always watching sick babies or kids who have to quarintine, and also the oldest is here every day 2:30 on because they couldn’t find after school care workers this year.
So basically like a stay at home mom but with a full time job.
So fun

I still only have to go into the office one day a week. This is the last week of school before Christmas. Then they are home with me UNTIL JANUARY 4 😭

It’s not my usual type of show but it’s good. I wfh 2 days a week (usually) and am so grateful for it because it gives me a little time to balance (dr appointment for kid, changing laundry, shower for myself). I don’t have a long commute (30 minutes) so adding an hour to the day helps. Kids are out again for winter break on Friday. They just had a week of fall break at thanksgiving. These kids get way too many breaks and the schools ask for too much money.

Agree I cannot comprehend the nerve of the school asking for money every 5 seconds and taking half days for anything they please. Ds2 doesn’t go to school if there is a half day so he will only be in school 3 days the next two weeks.

Yes and paying daycare full time care when she’s sick every other week and out 2-3 days at a time. Grrrrrr. I know eventually they grow out of it. The boys rarely are sick enough to miss school. Rare they have fevers or whatever. Even with her always having something. Last winter she wasn’t sick hardly at all so I thought we were good but this fall/ winter has been awful.
I think because of less masks/ distancing/ more kids back in full time care.
Booo.

Question for crafty people on here - you know those fake (LED) pillar candles - can those be painted, or if not painted, drawn on with Sharpies, in a way that comes out looking good?
Trying to figure out an idea of something dd can make for her teacher to go with nice note and probably gift card though can't figure out where gift card should be for... Dd is not being a good spy!
